    In this lesson, you will learn how lasers work. We begin that laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. We discuss how stimulated emission of photons differ from spontaneous emission of photons. Next, we discuss the energy levels that electrons occupy in the region surrounding the atom, and outline how we can calculate the energy of released photons when an electron decays from a higher energy to a lower energy state using plank's relation for the energy of a photon. Next, we discuss that in order to make a laser, we need a population inversion of electrons in a higher metastable state, that then decay into a lower state when a photon stimulates the emission of a new photon in the lasing medium. Finally, we discuss how to construct an optical resonant cavity, where the photons can reflect and amplify the emission of photons, which can then exit the device as a collimated, coherent, monochromatic source of light - laser light.

    Trust me you did an amazing job of explaining a very complicated topic in simple language that made it clear and easy to understand. Moreover the explanation was so engrossing the time frame was irrelevant…one of the reasons I love RUclips, turns out there are smart people who can explain the genius of mankind in a simple intuitive way!

      The top down understanding of physics/physical experience is very lacking. Consider what is E=MC2. Consider what is F=ma. The top down understanding of mathematics in general is very lacking.
      The precise, integrated, balanced, consistent, and extensive definition of what is TIME is as follows:
      TIME is necessarily possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE !!!! Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. CLEARLY, gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites (ON BALANCE); as the stars and planets are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE. Accordingly, on balance, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. Gravity is an interaction that cannot be shielded (or blocked) ON BALANCE. WHAT IS E=MC2 is taken directly from F=ma, AS c squared CLEARLY represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE; AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE).

    I saw one of the first Bell Labs gas lasers demonstrated when I was a Boy Scout in 1966. It's amazing how this video brought all the physics back to me 56 years later. The light was invisible, but the instructor transmitted music with the beam to a receiver 4 feet away and proved the existence of the laser beam by blocking it with his HEAD. We were sure he'd have a hole in his skull! Thank-you for the video.

So anyone hanging around ⚡ high voltages, well, don't be the ground state. 😬
